Our newest challenge

Our dearest Nichole (with an H) has set fourth a new challenge for us ladies. Challenges are just so addicting! She decided she wanted us to set a number of goals to accomplish before our next birthday. Because I am 28, I had to have 28 goals to accomplish before I turn 29. This was inspired by a challenge from the creator of the Love Elsie Line. You can view the challenge that inspired this challenge here....http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/08/challenge.html.

I raised the picture that is in the middle with about three foam dots on top of one another. So it is really above the papers. I love this picture that Rick (Sharon's Hubby) took of me and decided I would use it. Sharon, have no fear, I did save your head and I am going to use it for something in an upcoming layout soon! I bought the pp's at the Dream and I just love the KAISER CRAFT paper imported from Australia. It is from the Pretty In Pink line, Grace. I am a really big fan of brown and pink together so this paper was so me! The scalloped paper is Making Memories Audry collection. The numbers I got a long time ago and I forget who makes them. The beads are from Walmart. The buttons are from yard sales. My mom is a professional Yard Saler and picks me up the best stuff! I used stickels fruit punch to add some glitz to the scallops. I used my favorite Signo pen to outline the MM paper and the buttons. I also doodled some hearts to match the paper along the outside of the circle.

My Goals are.....

1 - Get Alicia off the binkie

2 - Get Alicia potty trained (AGAIN) She was potty trained before I left for Vegas and when I cam back wanted nothing to do with it.

I just love it! I too am a huge fan of pink and brown - for the longest time that was all that was in my wardrobe. LOL Your goals are amazing - well thought out. Good luck with them! It will be fun to look back to see how many you have accomplished and how many you need to bring over to next years list. :) Now I have to get my behind in gear and work on my page!

Nichole, Never mind those goals of yours, you have already reached the ultimate goal as far as NaNa and I am concerened. You gave us another prescious and beautful GrandDaughter to love for the rest of our life. There is nothing as prescious as a Grandchild! We love you all very much!!!PaPa.

WOW! Some of our goals are practically identical. LOVE the papers, all of them are so gorgeous, and the thrifted buttons are perfect. My grandma gave me tons of vintage sewing findings (pearly buttons and thread mostly) but I haven't used anything yet.

Working on my goal page this evening, after we're done spring cleaning. We spring clean once a week. That's life with a toddler who's toys end up in every room of the house.

What is 'Made with Love?'

What do we consider to be made with love? Our children, our artwork, our friendship and so much more. We are four fabulous women who started scrapbooking together at our local scrapbooking store. Some of us knew each other going into it, some of us met through other scrapbookers and friends. When one of us moved out of state we took it upon ourselves to create this little blog as a way to bond over the distances. We share our lives here, and strengthen our bonds.
